The Hawaii Department of Health maintains: (1) An Index File of any Vital Record (birth, death, marriage, adoption). (2) The original, vault copy Certificate of Live Birth (long form). (3) A computer print out Certification of Live Birth (short form). Hence, “records.”This is a ridiculous justification. No. 3 is an abstract of No. 2. It's not a separate record. Both have equal legal weight as prima facie evidence. No. 1 doesn't include a place of birth, so this could NOT be one of the alleged 'records' that Fukino was referring to. Sorry, but this is a massive, ridiculous fail.

Maybe this will help: “There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”
